Pownce

I’ve been messing around with Powne lately. It has some interesting elements, particularly the ability to file share. I also like how it ties different services, but Friendfeed does that way better. It seems to be a slightly expanded Twitter, and I am trying to figure out how I can use this. Anyone else using this heavily? What do you think?

 

I guess Scoble’s comment sums it up: “I can’t take many more social networks.”

It's amazing how quickly these social networking sites grow without your even attending to them. I got a Facebook account down at the University of Oregon as a way to contact sources. You'd be amazed how many people put their phone numbers up there. But now I check it at least three times a week.

I joined MySpace at a friends request, and it's also grown quite a bit.

I have avoided Twitter, and plan to continue avoiding it. This comic sums up my feelings:

Sometimes I'm tempted to get rid of my computer, but then something inside me weeps.

Cute comic. I've heard keys clicking in bathroom stalls, so I'm sure this is someone's reality.

I got my Facebook and Myspace accounts while researching social sites, and then let them languish. Once I was found out by friends, though, it was a whirlwind.

I can't imagine getting rid of a Mac willingly.

iPad and other glories

Perhaps I’m the only Macfan that’s not gaga over the iPad. It’s an interesting idea, but I’m just not sold on the concept. For what it offers, I think it would be valuable (to me) at a much lower price-point. Say, < $100. Then I could conceive. Heck, if it were $200 I would be sorely, SORELY tempted. But not $500. It doesn’t offer me much more than my iPhone. And I almost never use my Sony eReader (if the Mac version of the desktop software actually worked with it, then I might use it more). Anyway, if the iPad had handwriting recognition, or could do more with photo editing...I don’t know.

Link of the Day

Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind. We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward. Perhaps somewhat sacrilegious (ok, ok...nuke the "somewhat"), but I found this hysterical. I wonder, though, if they've made any money.

Millennium Falcon Coffee Table?

The folks over at Galatic Binder posted this awesome little table. Quite the piece of work, methinks. Were I a wealthier man, this would be on my "must have" list. It looks like it's made of bronze, so I'd hate to need to move the thing.
